Two New Ways To Blast Blemishes

Feb 9, 2011

Nothing ruins my confidence more than an untimely zit hanging out on my chin, nose, forehead, or anywhere else they like to surprise me. Seriously, I swear they have some sort of calendar that reminds them to pop up on weekends and date nights. Thankfully, my frustration means that I constantly ask dermatologists what's the best way to deal with them as an adult.

My fave scrub is the new Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Acne. It's made just for pimple-prone skin so the scrubby particles are smaller and gentler than most scrubs yet it's packed with acne-blasting salicylic acid and tea tree oil. Plus, it smells really minty and refreshing.

To keep my skin exfoliating throughout the day, I've been using the brand new SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense serum. Not only does it have glycolic acid to slough off dead skin cells, it's also packed with proven zit zapper salicylic acid to reduce blemishes quickly.
